Sales Order

Invoice

Invoices are official documents generated after a sale is completed, detailing the products or services delivered along with payment terms. They help businesses track receivables, manage cash flow, and maintain financial accuracy. With Zhylar, invoices can be created directly from deals or sales orders. This ensures a seamless transition from closing a deal to collecting payment. Everything operates within one centralised system.
